Title: JMC Black Shadow
Post by: hotrodzombie on January 30, 2007, 03:42 PM: Hey guys, found a JMC Black Shadow down at my local bike shop.
Weighs about as much as a packet of Sherbert Dip-Dab!!!

Just wondering if it's worth getting my hands on it?
cheers -HRZ-

Post by: Bob_Acid on January 30, 2007, 07:50 PM: Don't go in there taking pictures of it for god sake. he'll be straight on the net that night looking them up

just offer him a fair price.
Title: Re: JMC Black Shadow
Post by: db-oldskool on January 30, 2007, 10:01 PM: Matt is very close on the price,depending on condition & whatever parts are on it.
Just grab it first & show it off later,the owner may just go looking like was said before.

When I see something that I know is somewhat decent I just grab it,if it was anything with JMC on it you'd have to bet it's gonna be worthwhile.Of course that depends on price as well,if the seller knows what he's got then the price asked should reflect this,if you can get it under 200 like Matt said borrow the money if need be & snatch it up quickly. :daumenhoch:

Post by: jon016847 on January 31, 2007, 05:18 PM: For ref should look like this if its a black shadow

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/v661/JON016847/BlackShadow.jpg)

If its an early one, it will not have an intergrated seatpost clamp, it will have an oval downtube, should have clear jmc racing decals on tube and these on the chainstays.

If its the latter - description its rarer ...

Post by: hotrodzombie on February 01, 2007, 01:54 PM: :( went down there, but they found out what it was so are guarding it very closely. :(
So, Noel, No Deal! :(

On a second look, it was a Shadow (without the black) with integrated seatclamp, ShotgunII saddle and GT bars. :(
